Judgment text as reported

HAJJ ORGANIZERS ASSOCIATION OF PAKISTAN (HOAP) BALOCHISTAN ZONE VS GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN through Federal Secretary, Ministry of Commerce, Islamabad art. 17---Trade Organizations act (II of 2013), S. 14(3)(d)---Hajj Organizers association of Pakistan---Holding of elections---Freedom of association---Scope---Petitioner/Hajj Organizers association of Pakistan (HOaP) assailed notices issued by Director General Trade Organization (respondent), directing them to conduct elections of their office bearers within the scheduled time, while debarring the incumbent Members of Executive Committee from contesting the upcoming election---Contention of the petitioner was that the impugned notices were contrary to art. 17 of the Constitution---Validity---article 17 of the Constitution clearly manifests that every citizen shall have the right to form an association or union, but simultaneously it also enunciates that it is subject to reasonable legal restrictions imposed by the law---Similarly, holding of elections for the purpose of representation is also a fundamental right and requirement, which can neither be abridged or taken away nor it can be delayed without any lawful justification on the basis of lame pretext, thus such objection/ contention of the petitioner was misconceived---Constitutional petition was dismissed, in circumstances.
